STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 490,531, dated January24, 1893.

Application filed June 3, 1891, Serial No. 394,986. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT W. ALGER, of Kansas City, in the county ofJackson and State of Missouri, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved stove in which oil is preferablyused for the heating medium, and it has for its object to providecertain constructions whereby the radiation of heat is greatlyincreased, and it also has for its object to provide an improved oilfurnace, and a still further object is to provide a safe and convenientmethod of feeding oil to the burner.

My invention consists in the peculiar construction of the several partsand theirnovel combination or arrangement all of which will be fullyexplained and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specificationFigure l is avertical longitudinal section. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on line 22page 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on line 33 Fig. 1. Fig. 4. is adetail view of a set of stationary dampers, and Fig. 5 a detail view ofblast board.

In carrying out my invention I employ a horizontal cylindrical body Asaid body having band a encircling its exterior at opposite ends, and tosaid bands are secured the legs or supports a. The body A is closed atone end and near said closed end the top of the stove is provided with aflue opening a and at the forward or open end of the body is arranged ahearth a A forward end or head section A is constructed to fit in, andclose the open end of the stove body, said section sliding ortelescoping in the body, and is provided with a draft opening a and ifdesired a hinged door whereby Wood may be fed into the stove body andburned. This stove may be made of steel sheet, or cast iron or anysuitable material.

It is preferred to burn oil in my improved stove and with this object inview I provide a reservoir B, which is supported in a ring I) said ringbeing in turn supported by the rods 1) attached to the forward band athe reser voir having an annular flange which rests upon the ring I).This ring is also braced by a rod in the rear.

The reservoir is preferably constructed with a tapering bottom and tosaid bottom is connected a short discharge pipe 5 said pipe be-.

ing provided with a check valve or cook 12 by means of which the flowof, oil can be regulated or checked. An oil supply pipe 0, independentof the oil discharge pipe, passes through the top of the stove body andhead section and supplies oil to the burner O, the lower end of the pipebeing connected with the said burner, the upper end of the pipe beingprovided with a funnel c which catches the oil as it falls from thedischarge pipe 19 By having the reservoir discharge pipe and burnersupply pipe independent of each other; a sight is obtained of the fueland the regularity and force of its flow can be instantly determined.Furthermore the reservoir can be cut off entirely from communicationwith the supply pipe, and in case of danger can be quickly and easilyremoved.

The burner is preferably introduced into the stove through the opening aas is also a drip pan 0 within which the burner rests as clearly shown.

In order to increase the radiation of heat in my improved stoves,Iarrange a series of radiating draft deflectors D, between the burnerand draft opening, whereby the heated air and products of combustion arethrown outward toward the surface of the cylinder thereby increasing theradiation of heat. The deflectors D are circular disks arranged onebehind the other and shaped to exactly fit the interior of the stove,each disk having a cut out portion cl, and these disks are so arrangedthat no two successive cut out portions register with each other,thereby insuring a circuitous passage of the heated air and pro ducts ofcombustion from one end of the stove to the other as clearly shown. Thedeflectors or draft regulator disks may be either rigid or folding asclearly shown, and when folding deflectors are used, I employ the sidebars D between which the disks are pivoted upon a rod d clipped to thesaid disks, and journaled in the bars, and these deflector disks areconnected by means of the link rodd said disks being connected to therod by clips as clearly shown. The rear ends of the bars D are bentdownward and rest upon the flanged bar D attached to the rear end ofstove. The rod (1 upon which the forward disk turns extends through theside of the stove and is provided with a lever (i by means of which thewhole set of disks can be simultaneously operated through the medium ofthe link rod. lVhen rigid disks are employed, they are arranged upon ashaft D and properly spaced from one another by means of cylindricalcollars D arranged upon the shaft and between the disks, the saidcollars contributing largely to throw the heat outward to the surface. Ablast board D may also be employed between two rigid deflectors, saidblast-board being segmental in shape and provided with two or morestraps by means of which it is attached to two adjacent disks and servesto obstruct the passage of air and products of combustion. The foldingand rigid set of deflectors are interchangeable.

The operation of my improved construction having been briefly describedin connection with the description of the construction and being obviousto every one skilled in the art to which it relates, a furtherdescription is not necessary.

In place of the funnel I may employ a glass bulb, having tubes attachedat each end which fit in the discharge and supply pipes and whereby asight of the feed may be obtained as it passes through the bulb.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. The combination with a cylindrical stove body closed at one end andopen at the other, of a series of deflecting dampers arranged within thesame, a telescopic head section adapted to fit the open end and a burnerarranged within said head section substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination with a cylindrical stove body, closed at its rearend, of a hand encircling said body near its closed end, the supportinglegs attached to said band, the telescopic head section the bandencircling the same, and the legs connected with said band substantiallyas shown and described.

3. The combination with a cylindrical stove body of a head section, anoil burner, an oil supply pipe, a reservoir and a reservoir dischargepipe independent of the oil supply pipe substantially as shown anddescribed.

4. The combination with a cylindrical stove, of an extension headsection, an oil burner, an oil supply pipe connected therewith andprovided with a funnel at its outer end, a reservoir and a dischargepipe independent of the supply pipe and adapted to discharge into thefunnel substantially as shown and described.

5. The combination with a cylindrical stove of the extension headsection, the oil burner, the supply pipe passing through the head andbody portions, and carrying a funnel, the reservoir, the support,discharge pipe and stop cock all arranged substantially as shown anddescribed.

(3. The combination with a cylindricalstove body of a series of circulardeflecting damper disks, and one or more blast boards secured betweentwo of the said disks substantially as shown and described.

7. The combination with a cylindrical stove body, of an essentiallyrectangular frame supported within the said body, the deflecting damperspivoted within the said frame and spacing and connecting rod attached tosaid dampers substantially as shown and described.
